Synopsis

“Eye in the Sky”, “Don’t answer me”, “Silence and I”, “Old and Wise”… These magnificent songs, forever imprinted in our hearts, are by one of the musical formations the general public knows the least: The Alan Parsons Project. From 1976 to 1987, ten remarkable concept-albums saw the light of day, created by a collective of talented musicians and singers, under the leadership of the founding duo Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson. Despite having sold 45 million copies, few people are able to name all the brilliant artists who took part in this adventure. The name Alan Parsons will of course sound familiar to Pink Floyd aficionados, as he was the brilliant young sound engineer who worked on the legendary Dark Side of the Moon. But what about Eric Woolfson? What do we know about this very private man, who sadly died in 2009, a genius with melodies who wrote the music and lyrics to all the Project’s songs?To this day, there is almost no literature about The Alan Parsons Project. This book, full of anecdotes, tries to fill in this gap and examines the entirety of the “group”’s discography, starting with the Project’s birth in the mid-70s and the journeys of the fantastic musicians who created this right and varied music.
